"Many of you (and Corsair included) feel that it might be a case of wrong cable. We are working closely with Corsair to verify that the issue and I will follow up with the resolution when its definitive. If we screwed up then I take full responsibility in that. I've been using Corsair PSUs for years and never had any issues so this is definitely not indicative of any on going issues.﻿"

It's also possible there was a problem inside of the connector which could not be seen externally. I've run into this before with Molex to SATA adapters where a pin of the SATA power connector became loose and got pushed back. With a drive connected it would cause a short and the system would shut down.

Thankfully that HDD was fine but with a cheap connector or one that has been simply used a ton this can happen as I've also seen it happen on SATA HDD docks.
